TL;DR: It is shown that sea surface temperatures near the North Pole increased from ∼18 °C to over 23‬°C during this event, which suggests that higher-than-modern greenhouse gas concentrations must have operated in conjunction with other feedback mechanisms—perhaps polar stratospheric clouds or hurricane-induced ocean mixing—to amplify early Palaeogene polar temperatures.

TL;DR: This record of the Neogene reveals cooling of the Arctic that was synchronous with the expansion of Greenland ice and East Antarctic ice and supporting arguments for bipolar symmetry in climate change.

TL;DR: A surging-glacier land-system model is constructed using observations and measurements from contemporary surgingglaciers snouts in Iceland, Svalbard, U.S.A. and Canada for differentiating ancient surging margins from other non-surging palaeoglaciers as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: A toolbox for the automated calculation of glacier equilibrium-line altitudes (ELAs) using the Accumulation Area Ratio, Area-Altitude Balance Ratio, area- Altitude and Kurowski methods is presented, which simplifies the process of ELA determination.

TL;DR: In the area between Lloydminster and Lac la Biche, central Alberta, an extensive landform assemblage of megaflutings, crevasse-squeeze ridges and thrust-block-moraine arcs are used in the reconstruction of palaeo-ice-sheet dynamics in Alberta, western Canada as discussed by the authors.
